Reorganize Files and Folders

When reorganizing files and folders (copy, paste, delete or rename), the graphical diagrams belonging to the POOSL models also need to be updated. This page explains how to do this.

Copy / Paste

The context menu of the project explorer contains specific actions for copying POOSL models (including their diagrams).

Afterwards the paste action for POOSL models (including their diagrams) becomes available.

These actions can be applied to both files and folders. For each diagram, all styles and positions are copied.

Delete

The context menu of the project explorer contains specific actions for deleting POOSL models (including their diagrams).

Rename

When renaming a file or folder (e.g., by pressing <F2>) from within Eclipse, the diagrams are automatically updated. Note: Eclipse updates the label of graphical editors only after reopening the editor.

Inspecting the representations.aird file

It is possible to inspect the representations.aird file and view all the diagrams inside, but you should avoid the option as much as possible. To open the representations.aird file in the project explorer follow the instructions below.

  1. Open the View menu of the project explorer (click on the downwards pointing arrow in the top-right corner of the project explorer)
  2. Select "Filters and Customization..."
  3. Select the tab "Content", and select Sirius Content Management
  4. In the project explorer you can now expand the representations.aird file.
